Product Support Bulletin
Subject: Proper Method for Running Benchmark and Diagnostics Programs
Date: 06/04/93
Page(s): 1 of 1
This bulletin describes the proper method for running any benchmark or diagnostics
programs. This applies to any computer system.
In most cases, the computer should be started using an MS-DOS boot diskette
that's 'clean' - in other words, one with no CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
The appropriate executable can then be run, either from diskette or hard drive.
There will be some exceptions to the above rule. In attempting to benchmark or
troubleshoot any add-on that requires a device driver (CD-ROM, local area network,
etc.), obviously the necessary device driver(s) must be loaded. Also, some
programs will require a minimum number of FILES or BUFFERS to be defined in
the CONFIG.SYS file. Such programs will usually display this requirement if they
are run without the necessary CONFIG.SYS file.
For the most consistent results, use the absolute minimal boot configuration that's
allowed by the hardware being tested.

    Computer Product Support Center, involving the SOTA 386si from SOTA Technology, inc. The Equity models tested were the Equity I, Equity II Equity I + and Equity le. The Apex models tested were the Apex, Apex Plus and Apex 100. All were tested with Norton Utilities and MS - DOS.
  • Page 3 Installation of the board in most of the units was quick and simple to do when following the installation instructions accompanying the boards. Installation of the SOTA 386si in the Equity I and the Equity II is rather difficult. Due to the amount of disassembly required, we strongly recommend that only Authorized Service Centers install the board in the Equity I and Equity II.
  • Page 4 Although these boards were tested by qualified product support specialists, Epson America makes no representations that these third party products are compatible with all hardware configurations or software applications. We recommend that you certify these products with your specific hardware and software requirements and consult with the third party vendor to ensure reliable operation.
  • Page 5 To date there has been no report of incompatibility between EGA boards and the Equity II. The key to a successful installation is to make sure that jumpers J1 and J2 on the system board are both in the default position (position 2), and that the system DIP switches are set for NO MONITOR (1 - 5 and 1 - 6 both up).
